Saddest film you've ever seen?

So I'm sitting here watching Seven Pounds (Will Smith)
I've seen this film loads of times, but it never fails to make me cry. Like proper ugly cry, tears streaming, everything.
This is the only film that does this to me. I think it's so underrated.

What movies do this to other people??

Truly, Madly, Deeply.

It used to make me bawl big snotty tears before my husband was killed. Now I wish my husband would return to help me come to terms with his death.
Being widowed is a bitch.

Boys dont cry....dont think i could watch it again because i just end up a mess..

I will cry at anything but I now avoid films with really heavy subjects. My day job is heavy enough without bringing it home.

Who needs dark films when I can cry at sappy rom coms and dramas anyway. I watch them and cry and it's cathartic.

When a man loves a woman used to make me howl.

The Way We Were, oh my god. It breaks me every time but I really really love that film.

There's a scene in Gilmore Girls where Lorelai calls her ex and says that she needed her best friend and she references the scene when Katie calls Hubbell and I sob at that too. The pain just feels so real.

The bit in the first SATC film where Carrie gets out of the car and is hitting big with the flowers also.

Capernaum - on Netflix now. Heartbreaker. Wept throughout most of it.

FredaFrogspawn · 11/01/2020 21:40

Sorry no, it’s on Amazon prime.

Mr sisters keeper
And up Disney always make me cry ..

CouscousEvaporator · 11/01/2020 21:48

I never cry at films but A Monster Calls was a proper ugly cry, went through a whole loo roll and DH looked scared that I’d never stop crying 😂
Honestly was a wreck. Haven’t watched it again, although I loved the film.

Me before you was another sad one.

chickadeee · 11/01/2020 21:54

These movies were so sad and I cried buckets and buckets :
A monster calls
Manchester by the Sea
Bridges of madison county
The end of the Affair

But by far the movie that completed destroyed me, left me crying for days afterwards, had people in the cinema listening to me make a noise from all my sobbing was

Captain Fantastic. The ending just ended me.

SheisMammyof2 · 11/01/2020 21:58

The Champ
Stepmom
Song of the Sea
Beautiful Boy

After today I'd say 1917. Honestly the most moving film I've seen in a long time, if ever.

TimeTravellersHat · 11/01/2020 22:00

The Great Escape - it's an oldie but is available on Netflix.

eggsandsoldiers · 11/01/2020 22:03

I cry at a lot of movies, but one that had me in hysterical tears was A Monster Calls.

SimonJT · 11/01/2020 22:04

The fox and the hound
Lion
Pride
Brokeback mountain
Gods own country

Oh biguglytears I forgot the Way We Were . The bit at the end where they bump into each other after time has passed breaks my heart a little every time.

I have watched Graveyard of the Fireflies since reading this thread earlier. Such a good film but wow, so difficult to watch. Hadn't realised any studio Ghibli were available online.

Never let me go

toomanyleggings · 11/01/2020 22:10

Beaches
The curious case of Benjamin button
But the worst is A.I artificial intelligence. I literally soaked about three tea towels after getting through a whole box of tissues.
I also cried profusely at that episode of call the midwife when the mother saw her baby for the first time that was horribly disfigured and said ' awww love what a mess... don't worry we'll sort something out...' I bawled

toomanyleggings · 11/01/2020 22:11

Oh and the bit in Dumbo when she rocks him through the bars of the cage. That gets me every time

Bonkersblond · 11/01/2020 22:11

12 Years a Slave, true story, on Amazon Prime now

Lion. True story :( I watched it in the cinema with my 2 week old son on my lap so the hormones probably didn't help but I'm not a public crier except for this occasion. I well up just thinking about it. Also Bridge to Terabithia, but the plot took me unawares as DH said it was a Narnia movie Hmm.
